For the lack of a better word, let’s call this page a ‘Candy Store.’ Cigar smoking is as equally enjoyable as cigar researching and ultimately purchasing. There is an army of cigar aficionados who are addicted, yes, addicted to cigar purchasing. Although I keep my addiction at bay, I have few singles stashed away to keep my humidors at decent level. As many others, my journey begun with a 50-count glass top humidor. Couple month later, I was putting ‘extra‘ cigars in tupperware containers. Next was Ravello 300-count humidor. When I unpacked it, I thought to myself “this is it, this hobby can’t get more addicted than that” … WRONG ! When you hobby begins to spin out of control and you are looking at cigar boxes, it is time for a permanent piece of furniture. I chose to follow the easy / DIY route and purchased 150QT cooler. Until I can get myself a professional looking Aristocrat humidor, good ‘ol Coleman will have to do the trick.

Thanks, Daniel.
I’m a freak when it comes to keeping things organized. I think I have a mild case of OCD.

No kidding!! Killer selection! And you have ALL of the Tatuaje Monster Series in the presentation boxes! That so rocks!
Mine humidors aren’t nearly as organized – (a) not enough room as it is, and (b) I keep my organized by date received (so I can keep track of aging) and, if gifted to me, who it was.

Thanks Mark !
If you have a iPhone, I recommend that you look into StogieRate app. Great ‘documentum’ type tool.

Great collection and great organization. I have to get my hands on one of those Cohibas…
My humidors are currently a mess as I am awaiting some cedar drawers and shelves for my wineador…in the meantime, everything is in coolers, boxes, and 100 ct. humidors. I can hardly wait to figure out just how I will organize them all…once the drawers come in…

You are so right, cigar purchasing is an addiction. I never thought this hobby would become an addiction. Great pictures of some great sticks.

Hi Jay,
I’m new to your site and I really enjoy your photos, you truly
have an excellent eye.
I’m more of a Habano smoker then NC but I like to keep myself informed on other cigars from different origins.
Thank you for an interesting moment and keep up the great job you’re doing.
Amicalement,
Guy,
